Chef Jean-Christophe Novelli is the judge for the final week. In the first challenge, Jean-Christophe demonstrates how to cut ginger two ways - a fine julienne or thin strips and brunoise or finely diced before contestants must attempt their own in just five minutes. He then shows how to prepare ribeye steaks, with which the contestants must prepare their final and hopefully perfect dish.

Jean-Christophe demonstrates how to peel and segment a grapefruit before showing how to fillet a mackerel. The final challenge is preparing the ultimate dish using the fish.
